According to Academy of Geopolitical Problems president Konstantin Sivkov:

"Yet another drafting to the Armed Forces declared in Ukraine now
proves that all the talking about willingness for peace in the southeast
of the country on the part of president Petro Poroshenko is little more
than a cover-up aimed at getting a pause prior to a major offensive on
the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics."

"At present, the Ukrainian Army doesn't have enough manpower or
resources to guarantee victory over the self-defense forces but
Poroshenko obviously hopes to accumulate enough strength and to destroy
the rebellious republics by spring."

Britain supplies weapons and munitions. So do other NATO countries. According to Sivkov:

"There’s hardly any doubt as regards Kiev's craving to regain control
over Donbas through the use of arms, since the region concentrates the
biggest manufacturing potential and natural resources - mostly coal -
found in Ukraine."

"…Donbas and Novorossia…make up a buffer zone between Russia and
Ukraine, while the American masters of the incumbent Kiev rulers need to
eliminate that buffer zone by fair means and foul and to turn it into a
springboard for destabilizing Russia."

"These plans of the Kiev government, which is drawing on Washington's
support, (involve) full-scale war in the center of Europe."

Its "mobilization means preparations for war." Poroshenko is "playing out the scenario of a future war in this manner."

He's complicit with "US plans to fan tensions in the region as a method of struggle with Russia."

"Russia won't be able to watch the plight of citizens of the Donetsk
and Luhansk republics placidly because the Russians never let their
relatives or friends down."

"Once in the past, the US lost the Vietnam war because Russia - then
the Soviet Union - gave aid to the brotherly Vietnamese people and
that's a lesson not to be forgotten."

Ruthless fascists run Ukraine. Waging war on freedom. Threatening Europe's heartland. Potentially destabilizing the entire continent. Waging dirty war.Committing horrendous crimes of war and against humanity.

Spokesperson Lily Rodionov for the Committee for Refugees reported
rebel and noncombatant Donbas prisoners held by Ukraine were brutally
treated.

Saying "(a)lmost all the people come back with broken ribs, arms,
legs, torn teeth…One man received eight bullet wounds. He was even in
the hospital beaten, shoved his fingers into the wound."

"Teeth pulled out with pliers. Bute in wound sites. Many people with a
fractured skull…(E)lectroshock" used. "Someone thrown into a pit with
corpses, crushed excavator bucket, soldering iron thrust into his
mouth."

They don't "have medical care, even diabetics. Our prisoners can be
distinguished by the color of the skin. (G)rayish." One Committee member
said:

"I know of cases where people sprinkled powder on the genitals,
branded with hot iron, shot in front of the other, were sent to the
minefield was loaded tractor bucket to the ground, left to spend the
night in the pits with corpses. Fed them mostly just water and bread."

"We want to end it at the negotiating table even if it means doing
things which are unpopular with the population, namely negotiating,"
said Pushilin.

"We know the cost of human life. We know what one day of war can do,
how much damage it causes, and the irreversible consequences, in terms
of loss of life and health, so it is very important to us that we find
compromises."

At the same time, he stressed no abandonment of Novorossia's freedom
struggle. No surrender to Kiev fascist rule. "(S)imply impossible," he
said.

"(W) are not fighting against Ukrainians…(O)nly against the
government which came to power as a result of an armed coup and which is
now committing violations."

"(W)e are not aggressors, occupiers. We're not about to force anyone to become part of us, support us."

"We don't think it's proper to force any group…to join us because then we'd become just like" Kiev fascists.

Quotes

"There is beauty in truth, even if it's painful. Those who lie, twist life so that it looks tasty to the lazy, brilliant to the ignorant, and powerful to the weak. But lies only strengthen our defects. They don't teach us anything, help anything, fix anything or cure anything. Nor do they develop one's character, one's mind, one's heart or one's soul."
